Ever since The Rock made his surprise return to WWE a week ago on an episode of WWE Raw where he teased taking over as “The Head of the Table,” a moniker that Roman Reigns came up with during his mega run as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, it has fans talking about the dream match finally happening at WrestleMania 40.
Stepping up
Cody Rhodes was expected to meet Reigns for the title at this event in April, a rematch from WrestleMania 39 last year, where Reigns shockingly beat Rhodes to retain the title.
Nothing has been locked in or made official. In the meantime, countless ideas and speculation have been thrown around about how the company could do both matches.
Not backing down
While speaking with Sports Illustrated, Rhodes touched upon the possibility that he may not get to the main event of WrestleMania for the second straight year against Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title.
“The Rock is The Great One–he’s still electrifying,” said Rhodes. “CM Punk is one of the greatest stars in the history of wrestling. I know what I’m up against. Look at the roster–it’s loaded with stars. But that doesn’t bother me. I’m not flinching. I’m not rooting against anyone else, I’m just working to make it happen.”
Rhodes has already declared himself for this year’s Men’s Royal Rumble Match, while Reigns will defend his title against Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and LA Knight in a fatal 4-way at the event.
